HO73/3 extract from Statute
of Westminster; this source is another extract from the same
document from which Source 2 was taken. The whole document,
over 130 pages long, is a discussion of Anglo-Saxon and medieval
crime prevention, as part of an enquiry into Police in the 19th
century (see Gallery Prevention
1750-1900). In this extract
the author makes his own opinions very clear.
Look for evidence
of how the community system of crime prevention worked. What
did local people have to do and how were they made to do it?
In Source 3: What is the attitude of this writer to these
Anglo-Saxon rules? How can you tell?
Put some of the examples you have
found from these Sources into your Gallery Worksheet.
